Everyday Life in the Fold of a Serviette, A CPR Performance directed by Richard Gough, Chichester

Part-installation, part-promenade and part-performance a fabulous, (partially) edible installation, responding to the spaces, exhibitions and displays of West Dean House. EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE FOLDS OF A SERVIETTE will inhabit and subvert the corridors and galleries of the house (adding dioramas and cabinets which will function as ‘dangerous supplements’), stirring the dark waters of the past and creating a ‘ghost train’ of hauntings and evocations; a promenade through the ‘estate’ – state rooms and grounds, encountering fragments, figments and absences, taking inspiration from the world of Joseph Cornell, collecting and museums and the grand tour (in a miniscule dimension).
